Sometimes, it’s not major things that got us way off course. It’s just small things that are taking our time and energy. Jealous of a coworker, competing with them to prove your worth and prove your talent. If you live with that proving mentality, it’s like you’re on a treadmill that’s never going to stop. Because there will always be someone more talented, more attractive, more successful. That’s a distraction. You’re not running their race. You’ll never reach your potential if you’re competing with others, basing your worth and value on how you measure up to them. One translation of Proverbs 4 says, “Don’t look to the left or the right but stay focused on the goal.”
